Peter Brown honouredPETER BROWN ARPS DPAGB HonPAGB

Peter Brown receives his Honorary Life Membership

Peter was a founder member of our Group. During those 30 years he has always served on the Committee, for twenty-five of those years as Chairman. During this time he has served as an Officer on the Council, becoming Chairman of the Midland Counties Photographic Federation and, even more prestigious, representing the MCPF as a member of the Executive Committee, later becoming President of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. He was until recent years on the organising Committee of the National AV Championships and of Midphot AV Competitions. Despite major operations and feeling the test of time now, he has hardly missed a meeting.

Our current Chairman Malcolm says: "To me, Peter is the heart and soul of East Midlands Audio Visual Group, having been a founder member when it was Leicester Forest AV Group, overseeing the change to East Midlands AV Group, and guiding us through the great change from analogue to digital. He has always been willing to give his time and energy in the best interests of the Group and has held many offices including being Chairman for many years. I am proud to be associated with a group that has Peter Brown as a member. It is with great pleasure that we are recognising tonight his long and dedicated service to the Group by awarding him an Honorary Life Membership."
